Spinning Wheel
Technology innovations in 19th century caused the enriched production in the industrial fields and it helped the process of making to become faster and easier. However, the mass industrial production in the modern age overwhelmed the world market with mass products, while some beautiful handmade craft tools are turned into oblivion. Those old-fashioned tools were the exceptional craft pieces and were present in almost every home. One of those tools was the Spinning Wheel. In the present time, the Spinning Wheel can be a nice and unique decoration for your home and without a doubt it will draw the attention of every person that come to your house. But at the same time, you will also get a fully functional tool for the wool spinning. If you actually decide to work with the Spinning Wheel, it will take you many years back in time, when your ancestors were using it to work the natural fibers into a thread and made clothes from it. For making the Spinning Wheel you will need to purchase some hard and dry wood like oak, cherry, beech, ash, walnut... The Spinning Wheel assembly is classified into the three subassemblies: 1. Wheel Assembly 2. Flyer Assembly 3. Frame Assembly Make all the items precisely by the measurements given on particular pictures. The measurements are given in millimeters, and the measurements in inches are given in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).

Assemblage Instructions With the next steps, you will form the Wheel Assembly. 1. Attach the Toggles (items 1.02) to the Hub (item 1.01) with glue.

Page 49 of 66
2. Form the Wheel with subassembly made in the previous step and the Wheel Plank (item 1.03) and fix it in the vise. Drill the holes on the Wheel Plank (items 1.03).

3. Put some glue into the holes of the Wheel Plank (item 1.03) and then put the Pins D6x35mm (Item 4) into the holes.
4. Weld the Wheel Axle (item 1.05), Excenter (item 1.06) and Rotation Pin (item 1.07) together – as it is shown on the picture.

5. Hammer the subassembly from the previous step into the hole on the Hub (item 1.01). This procedure may take some time to do, especially if the wood is very hard, but if you work carefully, you will do it successfully.

The rest to do is to form the Flyer Assembly.
1. Fasten the Hook 1 (item 2.07) and the Hook 2 (item 2.08) to the Flyer (item 2.02). This procedure needs to be done very carefully and the best way to do it is to hold the Hooks with locking pliers and strike the pliers with mallet until the Hooks fit into the holes. If you still have trouble during this procedure, another solution would be to slightly wide the holes on the Flyer (item 2.02) and then attach the Hook 1 (item 2.07) and Hook 2 (item 2.08) with glue.
2. Carefully hammer the Flyer Axle (item 2.03) into the Flyer (item 2.02) and mount the Flyer Bearing (item 2.01) to the Flyer Axle (item 2.03). Thread on the Flyer Axle (item 2.03) and on the Flyer Bearing (item 2.01) is to the left.

3. Put the glue into the Flyer Whorl (item 2.05) and stick the Rectangle Nut (item 2.06) into it. Thread on the Rectangle Nut (item 2.06) is to the left.

Now you can form the Flyer Assembly.

FRAME ASSEMBLY 1. Join the Base Plank 1 (item 3.01) and Base Plank 2 (item 3.02) with glue.
Drill hole D26mm
2. Put the Treadle Bar (item 3.17) into the Treadle Axle (item 3.15) and then put the Treadle Pedal (item 3.16) into grooves and hammer it with Nails D2x20mm (item 3.20).

4. Stick the subassembly made in step 2 between the two legs (item 3.03) with holes made in step 3, then put the legs into the holes on subassembly made in step 1. It is very important that the subassembly made in step 3 can rotate easily in the holes drilled on legs.
5. Put the Thin Wedge (items 3.21) into mortises and hammer it slowly into the leg. Cut off the tip of the Thin Wedge (item 3.21) if it sticks out. It would be useful to put a few drops of glue into mortise before this operation.

6. Put the third Leg (item 3.03) and fasten it with Thin Wedge (item 3.21), like you did in the previous step.

7. Attach the Mail Pillar (item 3.04) and Secondary Pillar (item 3.07) with glue to the Main Holder (item 3.08) and then set this subassembly into the suitable holes on the subassembly made in the previous step.
8. Put the Movable Bearing (item 3.05) and Tension Knob (item 3.06) into the Main Pillar (item 3.04). Attach the Disc (item 3.09) to the end of the Main Holder (item 3.08) with glue.

9. Put the Maidens (item 3.10) into the hole on the Main Holder (item 3.8) and pull the Wool Carrier (item 3.12) onto it. Attach the Disc (item 3.09) to the Maidens (item 3.10) with glue. The Wool Carrier (item 3.12) should rotate around the Maidens (item 3.10).

10. The Skin (item 3.13) should be some kind of a thick skin. Cut the ribbon with length 150mm (6 inches), pull it through the hole, then hammer one end of it with nail, as shown on picture.
11. Tie up the Footman (item 3.18) to the Treadle Pedal (item 3.16) – as shown on picture.
By finishing these operations, you have made the Frame Assembly.

Spinning Wheel assembly 1. Stick one end of the Flyer Assembly in the Movable Bearing (item 3.05) and put the other end in the groove on the Maidens (item 3.10). Before doing this, loosen the Skin (item 3.13) a bit.
2. Put the Wheel Assembly in their grooves and put the Axle Pins (items 3.14) in, as it is shown on picture.
